Goat Simulator adds zombies and bad mental images with GoatZ

Goat Simulator, the very bizarre game that has you playing as, yes, a goat started out as a joke – but ended up being a rather fun, rather silly sandbox. It’s mostly successfully taken the piss out of just about everything – and it’s now fired a few shots at games that are perpetually in early accesss; games like DayZ and Rust. With its new, impending DLC – referencing a rather ghastly internet shock meme – Goat simulator brings Zombies. Welcome, GoatZ.

Here’s what its developers have to say about the add-on:

That’s right. GoatZ is the latest DLC for Goat Simulator and it will be the only survival game on Steam that isn’t in Early Access!*

Features:

Mandatory crafting system because everyone else is doing it

Zombies that bug out. There’s a pun here about actual living bugs, but we’re not going to bother

You can craft anything in the world, as long as it’s one of the half dozen weapons in the game

Zombies, because this is a zombie game, remember?

A pretty big new map with some stuff in it

Completely realistic survival mode where you have to eat every damn five minutes to survive because Dean Hall & Garry Newman said so

*not totally sure if this is even true, to be honest we didn’t bother to look it up. But it’s still pretty funny, right?

GoatZ will be released on May 7th on Steam as a DLC for Windows, Mac and Linux and will cost $4.99. It’s also coming to iOS and Android as a standalone app.

Editor. I'm old, grumpy and more than just a little cynical. One day, I found myself in possession of a NES, and a copy of Super Mario Bros 3. It was that game that made me realise that games were more than just toys to idly while away time - they were capable of being masterpieces. I'm here now, looking for more of those masterpieces.
